      Actually, I would consider Ace a virtuoso for those facts you mentioned. His solo's blended very good with the structure of the songs. Definition of Virtuoso is "person highly skilled in music, and Ace was very skilled, Sure, He's not a shredder, But being a shredder does not define a musician, and surely doesn't define a virtuoso

      The faster you play notes, the harder it is to put any dynamics and inflection into them. Guys who make solos on fire, aren’t playing the fastest, and choose their fast played notes wisely. Randy Rhoads was perhaps the fastest player that could manage inflection and feel into the flurry of notes he played. Everyone else that plays at that speed or faster is just a shredder

      Arnie Alexander Rocket Ride is pure Ace Im telling you. I met their stage sound engineer in the 90's a guy named Tony Pieras and we spoke a TON about KISS and ghosts players. But Rocket Ride is something Ace came out with and it was almost finished with his solo and all, and Anton Fig plays drums in the song. He also told me Gene barely played in most 90's albums (the bass tachnician plays). Plus if you are an Ace fan you know when he is playing and his fingers are moving. He has his peculiarities as a guitar player. I've been a fan for more than 40 years.

    A very good selection of some of Ace's best solos and exhibition of playing them. Bravo sir; your work is excellent. Ace, in his prime, remains my all-time favorite guitarist. Despite criticisms by other players and fans, Ace was incredible. Sure, he was not "technically" the greatest player. Nevertheless Ace was original, played with feeling and always with a sense of bravado especially from 1973 to 1978 and even parts of 79 (watch his live Dynasty Tour performances). Ace is too often forgotten in discussions of "greatest guitarists of all-time." For KISS in those days he was perfect. I would like to have seen some solos from some of Ace's records such as Snowblind but there are so many to choose from even confining ourselves to the early studio and live KISS records.
